Proof Cadillac were way ahead of the times.

Cadillac didn't build these. At least not the bodies. They were commissioned by the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They were built by Hess & Eisenhardt, using Sayers & Scovill hearse bodies for the base. Hemmings has a good article about them.

That's awesome!

Volvo wagons at the Gilmore Car Museum

Apparently this was the first V70 in the US it was a press car.

1960 Dodge Polara Wagon. One of 1,770 built, supposedly there are only five left on the roads, and this is one of them.

Collector mentality:
Save the convertibles.
Done. We've saved them all.
Save the hardtops.
Done. We've saved them all.
Save the 2-doors.
Done. We've saved them all.
Save the 4-doors.
Done. We've saved them all.
Sigh. Okay, save the wagons.
Too late. There aren't any left.

Also, that is the most 1960 car ever made.

If the rear side glass could roll down, it'd be the most picnicky/safari-petting zoo-type wagon ever.

Well, yes, but this is the wagons thread. This is the Type 4 wagon.

I finally got my own long-roof in January. It's been getting some work, and will soon be a beast. Details in sig link.

No mention of the vw arteon shooting brake? Yes it's called a shooting brake but let's be honest it's an estate. I want one.

Some wagons from the 2020 Woodward dream cruise

As much as I'd want the blue Chevy at the top and I do like the Pontiac, I'd have that Plymouth. My Grandfather had swivel seats in his. Must have been a Town & Country.

Was never a big Tesla guy, but this actually looks quite sexy.

I wonder if that project is more than just aesthetic. I want that.

Oh my... just paged through the whole thread, saw some really good stuff. I don't like SUV - OK, you got me, hate 'em along with minivans - but wagons are cool and from my perspective at least as practical as SUV and at least you don't drive a complete standing IKEA cabinet while the manufacturer cheats the hell out of the engine to satisfy emission norms because the laws of physics don't bend to the will of burocrats...

Anyway, Subarus, BMWs, Audis are certainly my favorites but stuff like the Datsun 510 Wagon or some other stuff I never knew about look very cool, too. Now, all I can think about is getting a Legacy Wagon and make it track day-ready with roll cage etc...

One thing I haven't really seen in the thread were communist wagons, let me rectify this negligence (none of the picture

First, the car I drove in my driving career for the first 30,000 kilometers, the miracle of the Romanian industry, the Dacia 1310 TX Break (ours was the same color, we had it from 1985 to 1999, those 30k were half of its complete milage done in 2 years, short story is here:

Next up is the Wartburg 353W Tourist, very distinctive 2-stroke engine sound, sporting some sort of brown color was extremely typical - we had a 353W but as a sedan, not a Tourist:

The ever-present Lada 1200 wagen, the VAZ-2102:

Its newer version, the VAZ-2104 (another one we had as sedan, the VAZ-2105):

Continuing with less common ones. First the Polski Fiat 125p wagon:

Moskvich 2140 wagon:

Last but not least, the one and all, the most communist wagon of all, the Trabant 601 Kombi:

I stop spamming the thread but as I've seen some shooting breaks, let me finish with my all time favorite car since it appeared back in 1998, the BMW M Coupe aka Clown Shoe (E36/8, I'd love to have a regular Z3 Coupe, too, not just the M version but I don't think I would ever have the financial means now that it became popular):

It's funny. When that Z3 coupe came out, I thought it was an ugly little thing. I couldn't stand it. Now I look at it and I love it. I would absolutely own one if I had the money.

Been seeing a yellow MCoupe touring a couple suburbs. Definitely ultra rare around here.
